57 Candidates and Nothing On
I was lucky to attend a debate among the candidates for Congress from Virginia's Fifth District just before game 7 of the world series. This was the kind of event you can write about while drinking beer and yelling at a television with your family. In fact, I'm not sure there's any other way you could write about it.
Here are our choices for the House of Misrepresentatives:
The incumbent Robert Hurt, a fairly typically horrendous Republican, if a bit less of a warmonger than his Democratic predecessor, didn't make a fool of himself at all on Wednesday evening. On the contrary, he disgraced himself by not showing up. Of course, the debate was in the left-leaning corner of a district gerrymandered to keep him in Washington for life, barring a mass movement of a few thousand people for one of his opponents. He would have answered most of the evening's questions as badly or worse than anyone else there, and that's saying something. One of the questions, submitted by me on a 3x5 card, was this:
Roughly 53% of federal discretionary spending goes to militarism. How much should?
I doubt very much that Hurt would have answered the question clearly and directly had he been there.
Ken Hildebrandt, an Independent Green who spoke often if vaguely about cutting the military, answered my question by offering arguments that UFOs had visited Roswell. Asked about climate change, he argued that chem-trails from airplanes are manipulating our weather. Pretty much all the other questions he answered: "Hemp." Hildebrandt is a bit of a mixed bag. He wants progressive taxation but no gun laws. He wants single-payer health coverage but calls it "public option" and claims that life expectancy in the United States is in the 40s. (During the whole debate, neither the moderator nor any candidate ever corrected another's factual errors, and the opportunities were plentiful.) Hildebrandt wants to stop subsidizing Lockheed and Boeing, but has nothing to say on a lot of topics, seems to think the two men sitting next to him would be about as good in office as he would, runs for office every two years as a routine, has a wife running in the next district, and -- less peacefully than one might wish -- calls the incumbent a "monster."
Behind Curtain 2 is Paul Jones, a Libertarian. He said he'd cut military spending in half immediately, that it's not defensive. "Who's going to attack us?" he asks. "It's ludicrous! The reason they would attack us is that we're over there all the time. . . . Nobody ever wins a war." Not bad, huh? He wants to end the surveillance state too. Of course, you had to be there to hear him mumble it all. But here's the downside. He wants that $500,000,000,000 to all go into tax cuts. He also objects to the term "discretionary spending." It's all discretionary, he says, no matter what some politician says (such as in a law putting Social Security out of his government-shrinking reach). Also he'd like to cut most of the rest of the government too, including eliminating a bunch of departments -- although, unlike Rick Perry, he didn't attempt to name any of them. He also wants to pay off the debt, use the free market for healthcare (while assisting the poor) and get immigrants to start paying taxes (huh?). He claims no laws can keep guns from criminals or the mentally ill. He claims that India produces more greenhouse gases than the United States.
Last up is Democrat Lawrence Gaughan. He was the most professional, articulate presence. He said he agreed with the other two gentlemen a lot, but it wasn't clear what he meant. He said he agreed "100%" with Jones on military spending. So, does he want to cut it by 50% right away? Will he introduce a bill to do that? He criticized Hurt for supporting the new war in Iraq. He called the Pentagon a "Department of Offense." But he said repeatedly that he would cut $1 trillion in military spending, which obviously meant $1 trillion over some number of years, probably at best 10 years, which would mean $100 billion a year. He claimed that the Democratic Party opposes war. And he claimed that his pro-war predecessor Tom Perriello is working with President Obama to reduce overseas bases. (All of this with a very straight face.)
That combination of comments makes Gaughan by far the best Democratic or Republican candidate in this district in living memory, but a bit of a question mark in terms of follow through. Hildebrandt said he wouldn't have compromised on "public option." Gaughan said that he both favored "public option" (clearly meaning to say "single payer") and would have sought a "more bi-partisan solution." Wow. Gaughan is not even in DC yet and he's talking as if we're bothered by "gridlock" more than bad healthcare. He wants to tax corporations and billionaires. He mentions "the 1%" a lot. But he favors a "leaner, more efficient government." Hildebrandt mentioned publicly financed elections. Gaughan said he wanted to "get the money out of elections" without saying how. He wants immigrants to have a path to citizenship, and he wants to "tighten borders." He sees the top problem as the concentration of wealth and power, but he sees the root cause of that as low voter turnout (what?). He's for background checks on guns and recognizing the reality of climate change, but one doesn't sense a major push for radical transformation. He talks about saving the climate by creating a better America, not a better planet.
Gaughan said he wasn't taking money from the Democratic Party in Washington. That makes him different from Perriello, who proved very obedient to his "leaders." No doubt the DCCC isn't offering money because they don't think any Democrat has a chance in VA-05. If we were to elect Gaughan, he might not lead Congress toward peace and justice, but he'd come a lot closer to actually meriting the praise that liberal groups gave Perriello, and he just might be answerable to the people who elected him rather than the party that didn't buy his ticket to Washington. A liberal Democratic Party elections group, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, is basing its national elect-Democrats work out of Charlottesville, but none of the candidates they're backing are from Virginia.
No More Wars on Anything
By David Swanson
Searching new articles on ye olde internets the past couple of days for the word "war," I turned up roughly equal uses of "war" to refer to wars and to refer to other things entirely. Apparently there is a war on graft, a propaganda war, a number of price wars, a war of words, a Republican war on women, and a woman who has been breast-feeding and is now suffering from "war-torn nipples."
While a war on women or a war on the poor can involve as much cruelty and suffering as an actual war, it isn't an actual war. It's a different phenomenon, requiring a different set of solutions.
While a war on terror or a war on drugs can include actual war, it is not just actual war, and it is better understood if its components are split apart.
While a cyber war can cause damage, it is a very different creature from a, you know, war war -- different physically, visually, legally, morally, and in terms of measures of prevention.
A war on poverty or racism or any bad thing that we want eliminated is quite different from a war on a nation or a population which, typically, only a certain section of a war's supporters actually wants eliminated.
I don't just mean that other wars fail to compare to war in terms of investment ("If the war on poverty were a real war we'd actually be putting money into it!"). I mean that war is entirely the wrong way, metaphorically or literally, to think about ending poverty.
And I don't just mean that war always fails, although it does. ("The war on terror has brought more terror and the war on drugs has brought more drugs; maybe we should have a war on happiness!") I mean that war is a violent, reckless, irrational lashing out at a problem in order to very noisily make seen than one is "doing something." This is entirely different from trying to develop a world without poverty or without racism or -- for that matter -- without war. You cannot have a war upon the makers of war and expect to get peace out of it.
It is certainly important to recognize who is causing a problem. The 1% is hoarding wealth and imposing poverty. Promoters of sexism are driving sexism. Et cetera. But treating them as war enemies makes no more sense, and will work no better, than your local police treating your public demonstration as an act of terrorism. We don't have to kill the 1% or win them over. We have to win over and engage in strategic nonviolent action with enough people to control our world.
War language in non-war discourse in our culture is not limited to the word "war" but includes the full range of barbaric, counter-productive, advocacy of violence -- serious, metaphorical, and joking. The "war on crime" includes state-sanctioned murder and worse. Wars on abortion doctors and sex offenders and political opponents include state-modeled murder. The state uses murder to relate to other states, as individuals use it to relate to other individuals.
Acceptance of war, of course, makes it easier to use war language in other settings. If war were thought of as something as evil as slavery or rape or child abuse, we wouldn't be so eager to launch a war on cancer (or send soldiers to kill Ebola). But acceptance of the war metaphor throughout our lives must also make it easier to accept actual war. If we have a war on cancer, why in the world not have a war on beheaders? If there's a war on women, why not launch a war to defend every right of women except the right not to be bombed?
I'm proposing that we try thinking differently as well as talking differently, that our foreign policy make use of diplomacy, aid, and the rule of law, rather than mass-murder -- or what might in strategic terms be called terrorism generation; and that our domestic policies follow suit, that we don't just madly attack social ills, but transform the systems that generate them. A war on climate change doesn't sound like it includes a radical reduction in consumerism and capitalism, as it must. It sounds more like a big but token investment in solar panels and perhaps a very shiny train. And a war on climate change is already something the Pentagon is beginning to use to mean actual war on human beings.
So, how should we talk differently? Here's one idea for certain contexts: Instead of engaging in a war on poverty, lets work on the movement to abolish poverty, to end poverty, or to eliminate or overcome poverty, to make poverty a thing of the past. Instead of lamenting a war on women, let's work to expose and put a stop to cruelty, abuse, violence, unfairness, brutality, and discrimination against women. In doing so, we can be more specific about what the problems and solutions are. Instead of a war on graft, let's end political corruption. Instead of a propaganda war, let's expose propaganda and counter it with accurate information and calm, wise understanding. Instead of price wars, market competition. Instead of a war of words, rudeness. I imagine most people can rewrite "war-torn nipples" without much assistance.
A logical place to start, I think, is on a campaign to abolish (not wage war on) war.
U.S. Sends Planes Armed with Depleted Uranium to Middle East
There's a version of this story at Al Jazeera.
The U.S. Air Force says it is not halting its use of Depleted Uranium weapons, has recently sent them to the Middle East, and is prepared to use them.
A type of airplane, the A-10, deployed this month to the Middle East by the U.S. Air National Guard's 122nd Fighter Wing, is responsible for more Depleted Uranium (DU) contamination than any other platform, according to the International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons (ICBUW). "Weight for weight and by number of rounds more 30mm PGU-14B ammo has been used than any other round," said ICBUW coordinator Doug Weir, referring to ammunition used by A-10s, as compared to DU ammunition used by tanks.
Public affairs superintendent Master Sgt. Darin L. Hubble of the 122nd Fighter Wing told me that the A-10s now in the Middle East along with "300 of our finest airmen" have been sent there on a deployment planned for the past two years and have not been assigned to take part in the current fighting in Iraq or Syria, but "that could change at any moment."
The crews will load PGU-14 depleted uranium rounds into their 30mm Gatling cannons and use them as needed, said Hubble. "If the need is to explode something -- for example a tank -- they will be used."
Pentagon spokesman Mark Wright told me, "There is no prohibition against the use of Depleted Uranium rounds, and the [U.S. military] does make use of them. The use of DU in armor-piercing munitions allows enemy tanks to be more easily destroyed."
On Thursday, several nations, including Iraq, spoke to the United Nations First Committee, against the use of Depleted Uranium and in support of studying and mitigating the damage in already contaminated areas. A non-binding resolution is expected to be voted on by the Committee this week, urging nations that have used DU to provide information on locations targeted. A number of organizations are delivering a petition to U.S. officials this week urging them not to oppose the resolution.
In 2012 a resolution on DU was supported by 155 nations and opposed by just the UK, U.S., France, and Israel. Several nations have banned DU, and in June Iraq proposed a global treaty banning it -- a step also supported by the European and Latin American Parliaments.
Wright said that the U.S. military is "addressing concerns on the use of DU by investigating other types of materials for possible use in munitions, but with some mixed results. Tungsten has some limitations in its functionality in armor-piercing munitions, as well as some health concerns based on the results of animal research on some tungsten-containing alloys. Research is continuing in this area to find an alternative to DU that is more readily accepted by the public, and also performs satisfactorily in munitions."
"I fear DU is this generation's Agent Orange," U.S. Congressman Jim McDermott told me. "There has been a sizable increase in childhood leukemia and birth defects in Iraq since the Gulf War and our subsequent invasion in 2003. DU munitions were used in both those conflicts. There are also grave suggestions that DU weapons have caused serious health issues for our Iraq War veterans. I seriously question the use of these weapons until the U.S. military conducts a full investigation into the effect of DU weapon residue on human beings."
Doug Weir of ICBUW said renewed use of DU in Iraq would be "a propaganda coup for ISIS." His and other organizations opposed to DU are guardedly watching a possible U.S. shift away from DU, which the U.S. military said it did not use in Libya in 2011. Master Sgt. Hubble of the 122nd Fighter Wing believes that was simply a tactical decision. But public pressure had been brought to bear by activists and allied nations' parliaments, and by a UK commitment not to use DU.
DU is classed as a Group 1 Carcinogen by the World Health Organization, and evidence of health damage produced by its use is extensive. The damage is compounded, Jeena Shah at the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) told me, when the nation that uses DU refuses to identify locations targeted. Contamination enters soil and water. Contaminated scrap metal is used in factories or made into cooking pots or played with by children.
CCR and Iraq Veterans Against the War have filed a Freedom of Information Act Request in an attempt to learn the locations targeted in Iraq during and after the 1991 and 2003 assaults. The UK and the Netherlands have revealed targeted locations, Shah pointed out, as did NATO following DU use in the Balkans. And the United States has revealed locations it targeted with cluster munitions. So why not now?
"For years," Shah said, "the U.S. has denied a relationship between DU and health problems in civilians and veterans. Studies of UK veterans are highly suggestive of a connection. The U.S. doesn't want studies done." In addition, the United States has used DU in civilian areas and identifying those locations could suggest violations of Geneva Conventions.
Iraqi doctors will be testifying on the damage done by DU before the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commissionin Washington, D.C., in December.
Meanwhile, the Obama Administration said on Thursday that it will be spending $1.6 million to try to identify atrocities committed in Iraq . . . by ISIS.

Israeli Chooses "Honorable Life" Over Joining Military
Danielle Yaor is 19, Israeli, and refusing to take part in the Israeli military. She is one of 150 who have committed themselves, thus far, to this position:
We, citizens of the state of Israel, are designated for army service. We appeal to the readers of this letter to set aside what has always been taken for granted and to reconsider the implications of military service.
We, the undersigned, intend to refuse to serve in the army and the main reason for this refusal is our opposition to the military occupation of Palestinian territories. Palestinians in the occupied territories live under Israeli rule though they did not choose to do so, and have no legal recourse to influence this regime or its decision-making processes. This is neither egalitarian nor just. In these territories, human rights are violated, and acts defined under international law as war-crimes are perpetuated on a daily basis. These include assassinations (extrajudicial killings), the construction of settlements on occupied lands, administrative detentions, torture, collective punishment and the unequal allocation of resources such as electricity and water. Any form of military service reinforces this status quo, and, therefore, in accordance with our conscience, we cannot take part in a system that perpetrates the above-mentioned acts.
The problem with the army does not begin or end with the damage it inflicts on Palestinian society. It infiltrates everyday life in Israeli society too: it shapes the educational system, our workforce opportunities, while fostering racism, violence and ethnic, national and gender-based discrimination.
We refuse to aid the military system in promoting and perpetuating male dominance. In our opinion, the army encourages a violent and militaristic masculine ideal whereby 'might is right'. This ideal is detrimental to everyone, especially those who do not fit it. Furthermore, we oppose the oppressive, discriminatory, and heavily gendered power structures within the army itself.
We refuse to forsake our principles as a condition to being accepted in our society. We have thought about our refusal deeply and we stand by our decisions.
We appeal to our peers, to those currently serving in the army and/or reserve duty, and to the Israeli public at large, to reconsider their stance on the occupation, the army, and the role of the military in civil society. We believe in the power and ability of civilians to change reality for the better by creating a more fair and just society. Our refusal expresses this belief.
Only a few of the 150 or so resisters are in prison. Danielle says that going to prison helps to make a statement. In fact, here's one of her fellow refuseniks on CNN because he went to prison. But going to prison is essentially optional, Danielle says, because the military (IDF) has to pay 250 Shekels a day ($66, cheap by U.S. standards) to keep someone in prison and has little interest in doing so. Instead, many claim mental illness, says Yaor, with the military well-aware that what they're really claiming is an unwillingness to be part of the military. The IDF gives men more trouble than women, she says, and mostly uses men in the occupation of Gaza. To go to prison, you need a supportive family, and Danielle says her own family does not support her decision to refuse.
Why refuse something your family and society expect of you? Danielle Yaor says that most Israelis do not know about the suffering of Palestinians. She knows and chooses not to be a part of it. "I have to refuse to take part in the war crimes that my country does," she says. "Israel has become a very fascist country that doesn't accept others. Since I was young we've been trained to be these masculine soldiers who solve problems by violence. I want to use peace to make the world better."
Yaor is touring the United States, speaking at events together with a Palestinian. She describes the events thus far as "amazing" and says that people "are very supportive." Stopping the hatred and violence is "everyone's responsibility," she says — "all the people of the world."
In November she'll be back in Israel, speaking and demonstrating. With what goal?
One state, not two. "There's not enough space anymore for two states. There can be one state of Israel-Palestine, based on peace and love and people living together." How can we get there?
As people become aware of Palestinians' suffering, says Danielle, they should support BDS (boycotts, divestments, and sanctions). The U.S. government should end its financial support for Israel and its occupation.
Since the latest attacks on Gaza, Israel has moved further to the right, she says, and it has become harder to "encourage youth not to be part of the brainwashing that is part of the education system." The letter above was published "everywhere possible" and was the first many had ever heard that there was a choice available other than the military.
"We want the occupation to end," says Danielle Yaor, "so that we can all live an honorable life in which all of our rights will be respected."
The Conscience of a Moderate
Angels by the River: A Memoir by James Gustave Speth is pleasantly written but painful to read. Speth knew about the dangers of global warming before the majority of today's climate change deniers were born. He was an advisor to President Jimmy Carter and advised him and the public to address the matter before it became a crisis.
Carter and the U.S. capital of his day weren't about to take the sort of action needed. Remember, Carter was despised for a speech promoting green energy and celebrated for a speech declaring that the United States would always go to war over Middle Eastern oil. Ronald Reagan and his followers (in every sense) Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama wouldn't come within 10 miles of a reasonable approach to climate. But Speth has spent the decades since the Carter administration trying to maintain a career within the system, a choice that he acknowledges has required compromises. Now he's pushing for radical change and takes himself to be a radical because he was arrested at the White House opposing a tar sands pipeline.
Here's a photo of Speth at the White House wearing the campaign symbol of the man at whose house he was protesting (Speth doesn't discuss the uniqueness of this form of opposition).
Speth writes as if President Obama were trying to protect the planet from Republicans, in contrast to the real-life Obama who has sabotaged climate talks in Copenhagen and at other summits over the years. Speth gives Democrats a pass, promotes electoral work, pushes nationalism, and believes the world needs U.S. leadership to address climate change. I think the evidence is clear that the world would be fairly well along if the United States would just stay out of the way and stop leading the destruction.
This image is from a recent report by the Institute for Policy Studies.
Speth's book tells a story of racist and sexist Agrarians who wanted to resist corporatism but didn't really do so; of "moderates" who blandly hinted at opposing segregation but didn't; of a Carter White House that didn't act; of a Clinton Administration that decided against even pretending to act; of a statement Speth wrote immediately after September 11, 2001, in which he took a both-and position, supporting both insane war and sane peaceful policies; and of the age of Obama in which one admits that the facts demand swift radical change while embracing lesser-evilism, not in voting but in activism and speech (that inevitable tendency being the main reason some of us oppose it in voting).
Of course I'm being unfair and Speth won't necessarily have any idea what I'm talking about. He doesn't have a chapter dedicated to nationalism, he just frames all of his proposals in terms of being a good patriot and fixing one's country -- even though the problem facing us is global. And when he worked in the Carter Administration he actually did good work and got things done. We celebrate -- hell, we practically worship -- whistleblowers who spent decades doing bad work, murderous work, before speaking out. Here's a man who did good work, who nudged things in a better direction for decades, before speaking out in the way he does now. With most people contributing little or nothing to the sustainability of the planet, and with radicals living through decades of failure just the same as moderates, Speth is not someone to criticize. And his book is quite valuable. I just want to nudge him a bit further.
Speth's account of his childhood in South Carolina is charming and wise. His account of unfulfilled dreams for the South and of undesirable Southern influence on the rest of the country is powerful. Instead of losing its bigotry, the South took on the North's consumerism. Instead of losing its consumerism, the North took on the South's reactionary politics, including what Speth calls "antipathy toward the federal government" -- I would add: except for that 53% of it that's dedicated to killing foreigners. Speth's account of the Nashville Agrarians' opposition to corporate consumerism is valuable. It's not that nobody knew; it's that not enough people acted. Of course, with my focus on the problem of war (which somehow, at best, squeezes into the last item on each of Speth's lists of issues) I'm brought back to wondering where we would be if slavery had been ended differently. I know that we're supposed to cheer for the Civil War even though other nations (and Washington D.C.) used compensated emancipation and skipped war. I know we're supposed to repeat to ourselves over and over "It's not Lincoln's fault, the slave owners wanted war." Well, indeed they did, but what if they hadn't? Or what if the recruits had refused to fight it for them? Or what if the North had let the South leave? It's difficult to bring up such questions while simultaneously convincing the reader that you know none of this actually happened. So, for what it's worth: I'm aware that's not how it happened; hence the need to bring it up. As it is, Vietnam has gotten over the war of the 1960s, and the U.S. South can, at long last, get over the war of the 1860s if it chooses to.
Speth was a founder of the Natural Resources Defense Council which helped win important struggles to halt a major expansion of nuclear power, to implement the Clean Water Act, and to protect wetlands. He also did great work at the World Resources Institute. Yet, he writes, there have been countless victories during an ongoing major defeat. "Our environmental organizations have grown in strength and sophistication, but the environment has continued to go downhill. The prospect of a ruined planet is now very real. We have won many victories, but we are losing the planet." Speth recounts the perils of working as a D.C. insider: "Once there, inside the system, we were compelled to a certain tameness by the need to succeed there. We opted to work within the system of political economy that we found, and we neglected to seek transformation of the system itself." And of being a global insider: "Thus far, the climate convention is not protecting climate, the biodiversity convention is not protecting biodiversity, the desertification convention is not preventing desertification, and even the older and stronger Convention on the Law of the Sea is not protecting fisheries."
Speth's conclusion is not entirely unlike Naomi Klein's. Speth writes in this book: "In short, most environmental deterioration is a result of systemic failures of the capitalism that we have today, and long-term solutions must seek transformative change in the key features of this contemporary capitalism." Klein quotes Speth in her book: "We didn't adjust with Reagan. We kept working within a system but we should have tried to change the system and root causes."
War Culture
According to a book by George Williston called This Tribe of Mine: A Story of Anglo Saxon Viking Culture in America, the United States wages eternal war because of its cultural roots in the Germanic tribes that invaded, conquered, ethnically cleansed, or -- if you prefer -- liberated England before moving on to the slaughter of the Native Americans and then the Filipinos and Vietnamese and on down to the Iraqis. War advocate, former senator, and current presidential hopeful Jim Webb himself blames Scots-Irish American culture.
But most of medieval and ancient Europe engaged in war. How did Europe end up less violent than a place made violent by Europe? Williston points out that England spends dramatically less per capita on war than the United States does, yet he blames U.S. warmaking on English roots. And, of course, Scotland and Ireland are even further from U.S. militarism despite being closer to England and presumably to Scots-Irishness.
"We view the world through Viking eyes," writes Williston, "viewing those cultures that do not hoard wealth in the same fashion or make fine iron weapons as child-like and ripe for exploitation." Williston describes the passage of this culture down to us through the pilgrims, who came to Massachusetts and began killing -- and, quite frequently, beheading -- those less violent, acquisitive, or competitive than they.
Germans and French demonstrated greater respect for native peoples, Williston claims. But is that true? Including in Africa? Including in Auschwitz? Williston goes on to describe the United States taking over Spanish colonialism in the Philippines and French colonialism in Vietnam, without worrying too much about how Spain and France got there.
I'm convinced that a culture that favors war is necessary but not sufficient to make a population as warlike as the United States is now. All sorts of circumstances and opportunities are also necessary. And the culture is constantly evolving. Perhaps Williston would agree with me. His book doesn't make a clear argument and could really have been reduced to an essay if he'd left out the religion, the biology metaphors, the experiments proving telepathy or prayer, the long quotes of others, etc. Regardless, I think it's important to be clear that we can't blame our culture in the way that some choose to blame our genes. We have to blame the U.S. government, identify ourselves with humanity rather than a tribe, and work to abolish warmaking.
In this regard, it can only help that people like Williston and Webb are asking what's wrong with U.S. culture. It can be shocking to an Israeli to learn that their day of independence is referred to by Palestinians as The Catastrophe (Nakba), and to learn why. Similarly, many U.S. school children might be startled to know that some native Americans referred to George Washington as The Destroyer of Villages (Caunotaucarius). It can be difficult to appreciate how peaceful native Americans were, how many tribes did not wage war, and how many waged war in a manner more properly thought of as "war games" considering the minimal level of killing. As Williston points out, there was nothing in the Americas to compare with the Hundred Years War or the Thirty Years War or any of the endless string of wars in Europe -- which of course are themselves significantly removed in level of killing from wars of more recent years.
Williston describes various cooperative and peaceful cultures: the Hopi, the Kogi, the Amish, the Ladakh. Indeed, we should be looking for inspiration wherever we can find it. But we shouldn't imagine that changing our cultural practices in our homes will stop the Pentagon being the Pentagon. Telepathy and prayer are as likely to work out as levitating the Pentagon in protest. What we need is a culture dedicated to the vigorous nonviolent pursuit of the abolition of war.

Everything Wrong With Liberalism in One Image Found on FaceBook
Here's a fairly typical image of a sort that constantly clogs up my FaceBook page. I take it to be the full and open expression of someone or some group's honest outlook. I don't think they'd identify themselves at the bottom as "Jesus, Republicans & Other Bullshit" if they were self-censoring.
And I certainly appreciate the cursing and the criticism of religion.
Here are my concerns:
"We've been at war now for over 12 years."
No, we haven't. The U.S. government and the U.S. military have, and it's been for over two centuries now. This latest installment has been actively opposed by many of us and opposed in many ways in opinion polls by a majority of the U.S. population for years. It's OK to take responsibility and blame for insufficient resistance, but not to identify with the criminals. If "we" are at war, we want "us" to win or to "redeploy responsibly," but certainly not to face prosecution or to make restitution -- as basic morality requires.
"Experts put the total cost at $4 - $6 trillion dollars." That's a sum of direct and indirect costs of war spending. The direct spending on the wars that is included in it is much smaller. It's certainly right to include the indirect damage. But we should start from the right place. The Pentagon and the media, and everyone who sees or reads the media, separate war costs from routine basic military spending. The latter is spending preparing for wars and provoking wars. It is justified by the existence of the wars. The wars are fought using the weapons and bases not counted as "war spending." That basic war preparations cost is now over $1 trillion each year. That's over $10 trillion each decade. Then add some extra hundreds of billions in "war costs." And then calculate the indirect damages and lost opportunities, which are enormous. The $4 - $6 trillion figure is ridiculously low, subservient to propaganda, and builds in the notion that possessing the sort of massive military that guarantees eternal wars is perfectly acceptable.
"Imagine if we had invested that in our own country and people." The war on Iraq was not an investment in the people of Iraq. It killed a million, injured millions, made millions into refugees, and absolutely destroyed a society, leaving behind the disaster now being addressed with another war. Yes, of course, we should have invested many trillions of dollars in people's needs rather than in mass murder. But anyone who's really tried to figure out how to spend many trillions of dollars would know that it's almost impossible to do. One will be obliged to let the other 95% of humanity have some of it for sheer lack of ways to spend it in the United States. And anyone who's given any thought to global suffering would be sickened by the idea of 5% of humanity hoarding such unfathomable wealth, just as many of us are sickened by the military using it to kill -- and to kill many more by taking that money away from where it's needed than the military ever kills using weapons.
Moving away from militarism requires identifing with humanity, not a nation. "We" must begin to mean humanity. Our graphics should not push nationalism, falsify numbers to make militarism seem normal, pretend war is something new to the United States -- which was born out of war and for the sake of war. Moving away from militarism requires dumping the Democratic Party along with the Republican, and along with both great mountains of bullshit. In certain of his comments, Jesus was actually closer to where we need to go than FaceBook posters are.

I've got a 6 (or so) year old Cooking Zone. Having a terrible time finding parts. Finally found a place that sent me the burner, but now I need the grate that sits above the burners that the porcelain briquettes go on. My grill is old enough that the model #s are long gone. |
Follow-Up Postings:
My best recommendation would be to try either a universal fit grate available at home centers, (Home Depot or Lowes) or maybe try Charbroil direct. Try the link below. Good luck. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Charbroil parts
http://www.buy-gasgrills.com/ claims they can get parts for virtually any grill. Click on Parts and describe the part you are looking for and they will respond with an email with part availability and price. They responded to my inquiry within 24 hours and they had the part I was interested in, but I was not looking for a Charbroil part. |
This site might have some parts you could order as well, they had parts for my '97 Charmglow. http://www.appliancefactoryparts.com/gasgrillparts/brands/ I ended up buying the universal Charbroil replacement parts at Home Depot and they're working well. I got the replacement burner, the Flavorizer bars which replaced my grate and Lava Rocks, and also a Thermometer which almost fit into a hole already in the cover. -ER |

Cascade Creative Media recently posted this video showing what construction work taking place at Facebook's Lulea data center in Sweden looks like.
The footage was shot in October.
Lulea's Mayor Karl Petersen says Facebook has been a boom for the town, in Sweden's north. While the data center is yet to open, it has already seen a flood of inward investment.
The site Facebook is building on has access to plenty of cheap power, low property tax, access to municipal water and a climate that lends itself to free cooling year round.

Krehbiel Adds Variety, Spice To Business, Life
October 2002Krehbiel began developing other interests upon attending Davidson College in North Carolina. He became involved with the college's radio station, WDAV. "They had all of about 25 watts," and for a while he entertained the idea of becoming a disc jockey. But the psychology major soon mulled over entering the field of clinical psychology; his future wife Jan was attending college in Atlanta, so the thought of setting up shop down south was appealing.
His first experience working in a mental institution, however, was not. "I almost fainted when I saw someone get electro-shock therapy," he admits. Thus, when it came time to pursue a master's degree (from the University of Cincinnati), his primary choice became clear: if he was going to go into business, why not the family business?
Krehbiel—who had worked summers between semesters in the prep room, press and bindery—obtained an MBA from the University of Cincinnati and joined the family company in October of 1972, the year he married Jan.
Upon joining the family business, Rob's father, Bob, stressed to him the importance of learning the many facets of the printing business. Thus, he tackled positions such as estimating, billing, human resources, sales and customer service. It soon became apparent to Krehbiel, however, that a majority of the customer service was given to Southwestern Publishing, a publisher of school textbooks. Southwestern accounted for 80 percent of the printer's business, and Krehbiel faced his greatest challenge when Southwestern was sold to educational publishing giant Scott Foresman in the early 1980s.
"We went from being their favored printer to being a high-priced supplier," Krehbiel recalls. "R.R. Donnelley and Von Hoffmann soon got penetration. We scrambled to get our costs under control so we could offer more competitive prices. We also launched a sales and marketing campaign to expand our customer base; today, we've gotten away from the one-customer mentality."
The C.J. Krehbiel Co. executives, seated from the left: Tuck Krehbiel, COO; and Rob Krehbiel, CEO. Standing, from the left: Rick Hastings, VP/sales and marketing; John Krehbiel, CFO; and Pat Boling, VP/production. |
The changing of the guard is now complete at C.J. Krehbiel: Rob was named CEO in 1997; his brother, John, is CFO; and cousin Tuck is COO. Rob was named "Printer of the Year" by Cincinnati's Printing Week Council, the same award his father won 25 years earlier. Under his guidance, C.J. Krehbiel has grown to $41.5 million in sales, bolstered by the acquisition of a new Mitsubishi Diamond BTS web press, a Muller Martini Corona perfect binder, computer-to-plate capabilities and other electronic prepress equipment.
Patty Brown, purchasing manager for Blue Mountain Press/SPS Studios, which publishes the Blue Mountain Arts projects, describes Krehbiel as a person with a high level of integrity. "He's extremely easy to work with and is just a nice, nice man," Brown says. "You only wish all suppliers had the same characteristics that he possesses.
Charles Armstrong, district area manager for Johnston/RIS Paper, feels Krehbiel is the type of person who puts people at ease almost immediately.
"He's known for his friendliness and openness; he can talk about any subject," Armstrong says. "He understands the book business really well. C.J. Krehbiel is an icon in this area. They've done business with so many book publishers, large and small.
"Rob Krehbiel is so deeply engrained in the company."
Krehbiel finds ample challenge in his work on a daily basis, competing with book printing heavyweights such as R.R. Donnelley, Von Hoffmann and Quebecor World. And being a middle-market printer also means responding to routine overtures as to the availability of the 130-year-old family affair. But don't look for the sale of C.J Krehbiel any time soon. "We've been approached by several companies about acquiring us, but it's our intent to pass it on to the fifth generation," he proclaims.
The reason, in part, is because Krehbiel loves the challenges of his profession. "There's no consistency to my job—it's different every day," he says. "Rarely a day goes by without a half-dozen things coming up before I can get to the thing I'd planned to do.
"We have a challenge, as a mid-sized printer," he admits, noting that they are the ones being merged and acquired. "Big companies can spread their overhead and bring in R&D. So we have to stay on the leading edge of technology and, as such, we're not afraid to buy new equipment."
In the short term, it is Krehbiel's hope to bolster sales by 20 to 25 percent. That will be a substantial task, given the sluggish economy that is approaching the two-year mark, as well as offshore scavenging—calendars, greeting cards and children's books finding their way into foreign print shops with dirt-cheap labor and overhead.
"For long-term viability, we have to keep up with the marketplace," he adds. "Keeping pace with technology will help us serve our customers better. We've seen some markets change, and it's my job to keep an eye on what that market is. We let our customers, and not equipment, drive our business."
The Krehbiel family includes (from left): daughter Amy; Rob Krehbiel; wife Jan; daughter Sara; and son Matt. |
He's served on the Printing Week Council for three years and spent four years on the MPS Executive Committee. He also served for eight years on the board of directors for the Printing Industries Association of Southern Ohio.
Personally, he has been a Cub Scoutmaster and a member of the Great Oaks Center Advisory Committee. Rob served a six-year stint on the Children's Discover Center Council and currently serves on the board of directors of ST Media Group, a visual communications organization.

text: The 1920's was a time of influence that resonated in a special way with the Crescent City. It was a time led by defiance, social change, and dazzling culture. But most importantly, it gave birth to one of the city's beloved trademarks-- jazz. From the trenches of smoky nightclubs emerged a genre of music that would shape the culture for decades to come. Many of the greats, such as Louis Armstrong, ventured to Chicago to record, but they always stayed true to New Orleans (Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans?). The lively sounds quickly became a symbol of fun, one thing New Orleanians still know best. It stands alive amongst the historic structures, the bustling culture, and the music... oh, the music.

The Burholme Community Civic Association last week honored member Romeo Battilana on the 70th anniversary of his participation in the Battle of the Bulge.
Less than one month after 12 people were indicted in an alleged ticket-fixing scheme, the Pa. Senate has voted to eliminate Philadelphia's Traffic Court.
U.S. Rep. Jon Runyan, a former Eagles offensive tackle, was the star attraction at Sunday's 28th annual Republican City Committee Billy Meehan Clambake at Cannstatter's. Runyan, a freshman who represents a South Jersey district, told the crowd that nobody 55 or older would be affected by the Medicare reform plan proposed by Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, the vice presidential running mate for Mitt Romney.
— A panel charged with coming up with new state legislative districts takes another crack at a plan that would meet constitutional muster.
Thanks to a tie-breaking vote by state Supreme Court Chief Justice and Rhawnhurst resident Ron Castille, new boundaries for state House and Senate districts are kaput. Denny O'Brien's old House seat likely will stay put, spurring a crowded contest.
State Sen. Tina Tartaglione looks like one of the winners in legislative redistricting, while most local House members believe the final plan is an improvement on the preliminary one.
House Majority Leader Mike Turzai has said as much – telling the Republican State Committee that Romney has a better chance to defeat President Barack Obama in Pennsylvania because of the law.
Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, an Allegheny County Republican, said the law will be a tool to detect incidents of double voting and voting by non-citizens and those voting under a fictitious registration.

Mary Brown (Texas)
Mary Brown | ||
Candidate for | ||
Texas House of Representatives, District 64 | ||
Party | Democratic | |
Websites | ||
Campaign website | ||
As of late 2012, Brown was a student at the University of North Texas, pursuing a Bachelor's of Science in Mechanical and Energy Engineering with Minors in Economics, Political Science, Japanese and Anthropology.
Campaign themes
Brown's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
- Excerpt: "Our Economy is dependent on people working, and if people aren't working we're in a bad position. Let's give people the opportunity to work and get us all back on our feet. We need to help people work instead of having faith in companies to hire in a tough economy."
- Excerpt: "The greater our support of education and those in poverty that want to help themselves makes us a better state that is looking out for our citizens and our future. The greater level of education we average, the better workforce we will have, and the better companies we can attract with our more educated workforce."
- Excerpt: "I believe that investing in education and giving educators the tools and support they need to give students a better future. Creating standardized tests that have nothing to do with the curriculum being taught in the classroom and not giving School Districts the resources they need to make sure each student is taught at a pace that they can follow isn't the way to make us a top notch place for students. Every Student that graduates from a Texas High School should be ready to attend college should they choose to. We have to invest in the future of Texas, and investing in education is a very big first step."
- Excerpt: "While we're making drilling safer for our environment, we should look to our environment to create our next source of energy. In Texas, and especially North Texas, we have the sun and the wind to power alternative energy sources. Let Texas lead the nation and use our innovative spirit to use all of our natural resources to power our future."
Brown ran in the 2012 election for Texas House of Representatives, District 64. Brown ran unopposed in the May 29 primary election and was defeated by incumbent Myra Crownover (R) in the general election which took place on November 6, 2012.[2] In a submitted bio, Brown said she hoped to gain advantage in 2012 by invigorating student voters in District 64.

The best mascara around - and trust me, I've tried quite a few! Applies nicely, dries quickly and lasts all day. Fairly expensive, but so worth it!

I bought this mascara because I heard that it would not smudge. Indeed, it does not smudge, but this mascara is too wet for my liking. It does not go well with my small uncurled lashes. It does not go well with using a eyelashcurler either. It does not give a good amount of volume, but it makes my lashes looking longer. The problem with this mascara is that it makes my lashes stick together and elongates them, and it's not a good look.

I have been using this mascara for a very long time and I stopped using it to try out other ones, however I keep going back to this one. It is definitely one of my favourite mascaras.
I have short and straight lashes, so I need to curl them before applying mascara on them. I find that the waterproof formula works best for that, because it keeps my lashes curled, whereas the regular formula immediately weighs them down.
I also use a tissue paper to wipe mascara off the wand. That way it prevents my thin lashes from clumping together. It adds length and volume to my lashes and does a great job seperating lashes so you don't get clumpy spidery lashes.
This is definitely a mascara that I can recommend to everyone!

I have been using this product for years. I love it. I have long (but blonde and invisible) lashes that aren't very thick. I find a lot of mascaras gloop my eyelashes together and give that lovely spider look. This mascara doesn't do that. I find it really easy to build, add length and add volume without clagging my eyelashes together. It stays on well (probably not perfect, but I don't end up with panda eyes by the end of the day). But considering the price tag its fantastic. People always ask me what mascara I use and I always fully recommend this product. If you are spending a fortune on mascara you should give this a try as I have spent much more and got a lot less over the years.

This mascara is nothing special - yep, it darkens lashes and if that's all you're after, then this is your bag. However, you could always save $5 and go for Covergirl Mascara and get a product that thickens and enhances your lashes too.
Boom. Saved you time and money - you can thank me later.

This was pretty expensive for a drug store product. It was 20.00. But luckily, this mascara didn't fail to impress. I got it in the brown shade, and the wand is pretty flexible. The packaging was good, a bit big for a mascara in my opinion, but good all the same. I had very defined lashes after using this, they were spread out and natural looking and none were stuck together and/or clumped. You could also go heavier for a winged effect which also looked gorgeous. I would buy this again for sure, and I would recommend to a friend.

Eyelashes are my signature look and this little beauty is perfect for creating ultra long clump free lashes. It separates and lengthens without creating a scary spider's legs effect. This is a must have for fabulous fluttery eyelashes!

I got this as a little sample and I'm really happy that I got to try it out! I would never have bought it myself, because the packagain and mascara wand/brush look quite boring to be honest! But it works really great. Gives you som length and volume in a natural but pretty way. It is not WOW, but really great! Don't really have any bad to say about it..

I'm one of those lucky women who is blessed with long lashes, so my main concern normally is to find a mascara that enhances that, without clumping (trust me, with all those voluminazing mascaras, that is no small task), and finally went back to basic: This mascara works for me, darkens my lashes, enhance them without clumping, and last the whole day.

Slain Madbury teen 'had enormous potential'
Wednesday, June 25, 2014
MADBURY — Aaron Wilkinson, the 18-year-old found stabbed to death Saturday afternoon in Maine, was a compassionate, thoughtful and caring young man, according to people who knew him.
"He loved hanging out with kids at the local skate park," Stackhouse said of his former student.
No arrest has been made in connection to the death, which was ruled a homicide by the Maine State Medical Examiner. Foster's Daily Democrat learned Saturday that the stabbing was drug-related, although police have not discussed possible motives.
"He was always around here," Rian Mitchell, 17, said. The two did not attend school together, but he grew to know Wilkinson as a "loyal pal" always willing to help out and spend time with friends. |

5Linx Enterprises Inc. has generated an estimated $6.7 million return, nearly four times the initial investment, for the New York State Common Retirement Fund, a state official said Thursday.
The Henrietta-based telecommunications company also has generated an estimated 21 percent internal return rate for the retirement fund, which aims to find worthwhile investments in companies located in New York, said state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.
"The success of the 5Linx investment is another example of how the In-State Private Equity Program delivers positive results for the fund and for our local communities," DiNapoli said in a statement.
Fund manager for the program, Trillium Group LLC, received a commitment of $25 million for venture capital funding 10 years ago. It has made 14 investments in New York companies, including 10 companies in or near Rochester.
5Linx received $1 million in 2006, $600,000 a year later and $100,000 in 2009, DiNapoli said.
"5Linx has gone on to experience significant growth and business success culminating in a return of capital to the Common Retirement Fund with a very attractive rate of return," said Christopher O'Donnell, general partner for Trillium Group, in a statement.
5Linx has provided telecom services for residential and business clients for 13 years. It ranked ninth on the 2013 Rochester Top 100 list of fastest-growing private companies. It ranked No. 1 on the 2012 list. The company reported 268 employees in 2013, including 246 locally.

is it problematic or annoying to only have one function for the rain shower head? Also, faucet direct confirmed you can use the jets, handshower and rain shower at once if you have enough water pressure. We'll have well water, might this be a problem? thanks for any comments! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well water , city water, rain water, doesn't matter. It only matters how much pressure your delivery system can deliver with regard to this set up. You can buy a pressure gauge for around 10 bucks and see what yours is. Pressure is not the ONLY issue. You'll need to be able to flow/send/deliver enough hot water to use two features in that setup. Figure 5 gallons a minute for as long as you want to use it. |

i have an eggplant i been growing from seed it isn't very big but it just started sprouting what seems like it's true leaves. the thing is we have egg plants in our garden but since the garden isn't really tended to the eggplants are extremely small but the plant itself is big.
anyways i have it in a 5gallons bucket not sure what type of eegplant it is the fruit is long and purple. but i was wondering if it will be fine in this 5 gallon bucket or will it need more space? i ask because i don't have room for bigger bucket then a 5gal if it needs more space i might as well put it down and plant something else |

5 gallons is plenty big enough for one eggplant. Your description sounds like a japanese long eggplant. These are the best tasting in my opinion and most productive. Probably will be the only type I'll grow next year. |

Victory eluded Viswanathan Anand yet again as the world champion played out a draw with Russian Vladimir Kramnik in the eighth and penultimate round of the Tal Memorial Chess Tournament here.
Looking to control some damage after losing as many as three games in one of the strongest tournaments ever, Anand did everything right and gave no chances to Kramnik who is on an unfamiliar last spot in the tournament he has won before.
With just one round remaining, the draw did not help Anand's cause for a comeback but did not do any further damage either.
Boris Gelfand of Israel remained in front on 5.5 points after an easy draw with Shakhriyar Mamedyarov of Azerbaijan while world number one Magnus Carlsen scored a regulation victory over erstwhile leader Hikaru Nakamura of United States to jump to sole second spot on five points.
Fabiano Caruana of Italy also improved his chances in the tournament defeating Alexander Morozevich of Russia after the latter panicked out of a drawn situation and the Italian now shares the third spot along side Nakamura, Dmitry Andreikin of Russia and Mamedyarov on 4.5 points apiece.
Russian Sergey Karjakin did not give much leverage to fellow Andreikin and drew comfortably as black to occupy the sole seventh spot on 3.5 points with just a lone game left to play against Anand who stands sole eighth a half point adrift.
Kramnik and Morozevich share the last spot on 2.5 points each. The variation chosen by Anand against the Nimzo Indian defence by Kramnik has not given White good results in the recent past but the Indian ace had some ideas to push for advantage against the Russian.

Compatibility Quotient: Do you Belong Together?

2. Are you
comfortable being totally yourself around your partner?
After a few months, it's time to let your hair down and let
your partner see your less than pretty side. Do they still accept you, even
with your demons out of the closet? Are they able to love the whole package of you?
Or, instead do you feel the need to hide certain pieces of
yourself, or change to meet their standards? If so, it's time to bail- because
you are a gift, just the way you are.
3. Do you feel like
part of a team- like together, you could handle anything?
Great partners develop a strong sense of partnership, where
you feel like you do most things better together! There's a trusting feeling of
"I've got your back." Plus, you easily bring out the best in each other, so
really, you are better together.
If you too easily to slip onto opposing teams, quickly get
defensive with each other, or argue over even little things that require
cooperation, it's a sign that you don't naturally play well together- something
every bond needs to thrive over time.
So, the next time you find yourself falling head over heels,
put the brakes on long enough to examine your deep, underlying compatibility.
If you assess how right you really are for each other, before you've professed your undying love, you'll stay on track to

text: Hey guys, so I got a set of Adams Golf Tight Lies, beginner golf set. The set is a Driver, 5 Wood, 3-SW, and Mallet putter. Pictures below the PW, and SW especially do have some chips on them from use. There is a bag, it's not pictured because as of right now, it's my current bag (my only bag) So if you want the bag the price will go up a little since I would have to purchase a new bag. I'm asking $150 but don't be afraid to just throw out a price, I'd also accept trades for a TaylorMade or Ping G10 or newer driver or a stand bag.
